Tilapia with Jasmine Rice Recipe

“To die for,” is how Shirl Parsons of Cape Carteret, North Carolina describes this recipe for tender, full-flavored tilapia. Fragrant jasmine rice brings a special touch to the mouthwatering dish. And it gets better—each serving has only 5 grams of fat!

Directions

In a large saucepan, bring the water, rice and butter to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.

Combine the seasonings; sprinkle over fillets. Place salad dressing in a large skillet; cook over medium heat until heated through. Add fish; cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve with rice.Yield: 2 servings.
